If the pothole has damaged your car to that extent, get some pics taken of the pot hole, with a measurement of its deepness, then submit a claim to the council. If youre lucky, they will not have surveyed or checked the road regularly, or if they did and were aware of a pothole and didnt fix it, you...

Brian you are quite simply the yoda of this site!!

Thanks

Aah now that helps...i think i remember telling the previous testers about the engine change but i didnt know they adjusted the test to suit...

So if i go back to the same place and tell them, they should adjust to suit the earlier engine and should pass?

Its a 1993, was a 1.8 but that engine died and a 2.5 m20 was put in

Like i said before, my main concern is the parts on it and any alarm with a warn away or will go off if someone is near it for too long would be ideal. A tracker would then cover those who ever try to take the whole car. Brian i know what youre saying and like ive said before if some really wants it...

Second idle test:
C0 0.550 fail
Lambda 1.072 fail

Natural idle test:
Co 0.699 fail

Forgotton how to put up pics

Brianmoooore wrote:CO or CO2? Very different gasses. Also, what are the other gas results? You should have a printed sheet from the test station.

It was CO brian - il put up the emission test sheet.

Tester says it smells of fuel so probably running rich.

Looks like the clifford one is the only one that is still available with the features i want. Cost between 600 to 850?....
Trackers are coming in around 300 with 150 per yr prescription.

Autowatch has been mentioned a few times but dont know if theyre any good

Just took the e30 325i out after 3 years to get it mot ed and it failed on the emissions saying the co2 is too high on norrmal and fast idle and lambda The car nas been sitting for a while and is due a service as it ismissing slightly, but its been like that for years and passed last time with no is...

Im really after two things: An alarm that has a proximity sensor to warn away parts thieves and A tracker if someone tries to take the whole car. Ultimately the sad fact is that if someone wants your car, they will take it. If someone wants parts off it, they will do the same thing. All you can do i...

My e30 has been parked in a garage for a number of years and i now think its time it got used again. The alarm works and is loud as hell but the remotes are worn and i think the lot could with renewing. Can anybody recommend the best alarm to go for? I liked the idea of the ones with the warn away p...

Open the boot and take the cover off underneath the hood horseshoe area to see if the motors are engaged....chances are the main motor casing and arm will broken and is all out of sync...

Pain the arse these leccy hoods...

41?? must be getting creaky now rav....

Hope you treated yourself to something nice.....a repaint of the cabby perhaps??

ok -

so after quite alot of ringing around and speaking to the usual suspects - the best i can do is £220 - better but I still think this is too much for a car that does less than 1000 miles per year and goes some way to beat the £95 premium i was paying a couple of years ago....

Thought id kick start this thread again - thanks to all the input previously i had my cab insured last year for £105 fully comp with an agreed valuation via Peter Best - The time has come to reinsure - however they have had to change their underwriting criteria and therefore my 20 yr old cab is no l...

this looks great - can i ask what you used to renovate your seats as it looks like it came up lovely....

Reckon this just needs the alpina decal kit on the plough and should look about finished..

if the fuses are ok- it could be the wiring pins in the large pin connector as they get corroded - would suggest pulling it out and wd40 ing it - then see if that helps.

that the same seat? Thats a very good repair - saves hunting around for replacement seats -

How long is the repair meant to last??

my only worry is i want it to flash bright - i was thinking of geting some LED bulbs and then varnishing these to keep them bright??

does this green nail varnish deffo work?
How bright is the light when indicating ?
is it bright enough?

Any pics of it when flashing would be great...

Are comfort seats worth anything?

Not unless you're a Big Fat American.....

Ok - i thought id give a quick update on my situation.. in a nuthshell- i have recieved 4 notices for the same stretch of motorway when the speedlimit was dropped from 50 to 40 for roadworks. All notices bar 1 had been sent to me outside the 14 notice period. The first notice has given me the speed ...

Cool - so all i need to do is put the heated glass in and it will work??

ok - but how and when do they come on & what controls this??

I want to intall these but was unsure how they work? I can get the actual mitrror glass with the elements and i have noticed that some wing mirrors have the wiring behind it in the mirror casing...but will it work if i just plug in the the new heated glass into the mirrors? Does it come on with the ...

stirling advice once again from Lee.....

badassyas - stand your ground no matter what and dont give in to their compromises - it is in the insurers interest to try and pay you as little as possible and screw you out of as much as possible...

im keeping the original 318is spings (mtech?) so still unsure if b6 or b8 is the way to go

these wont b6 or b8s though....but may be good enough for the job for a bit.. would still prefer something like the b6/b8s

so you do have to mod them? what did you have to do??

everyday road use....i had biltein b8s i think in my last one which were awesome....

but would these be a tad too much of an extravagance in an IS??

Cheers Lee - bloody hell these bilstien shocks are expensive....maybe i would be better off with something like these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COILOVER-BMW-E30-3-SERIES-ADJUSTABLE-SUSPENSION-/250762807908?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a62a0ca64 anybody had any experience of these and ...

Ive been looking at other BMW leather seats for my E30 and wanted to know which ones fit with no fuss? (front ones)

Ive seen a few E36 seats in E30s and these are availble now and again but ive also seen E46 nd E90 coupe seats coming up rather cheap nowadays and wondered if these would fit ?

The one option I miss from the past is the heated screens from my Scorpio, XR2's and the Sierras. They were a fantastic option and surprising that it didn't catch on more. +1, they were excellent. Iirc Ford owned the rights to them, which prevented other manufacturers from using them This is correc...
